Hormone replacement therapy and increased plasma concentration of C-reactive protein.
BACKGROUND It has been hypothesized that postmenopausal hormone replacement therapy (HRT) may increase levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), a marker of inflammation associated with increased risk of future cardiovascular events. However, data evaluating this hypothesis are sparse and limited to older women. METHODS AND RESULTS CRP levels were evaluated in a cross-sectional survey of 493 health...
متن کاملPlasma C-reactive protein is not elevated in physically active postmenopausal women taking hormone replacement therapy.
We tested the hypothesis that hormone replacement therapy (HRT)-related increases in C-reactive protein (CRP) would either be blunted or absent in postmenopausal women who regularly perform endurance exercise. Plasma CRP is an independent predictor of future cardiovascular events in healthy men and women. Oral HRT increases plasma CRP concentrations in postmenopausal women. Regular aerobic exer...
متن کاملSerum levels of C-reactive protein are associated with obesity, weight gain, and hormone replacement therapy in healthy postmenopausal women.
The authors evaluated the cross-sectional and prospective associations between the serum concentration of C-reactive protein and measures of obesity and fat distribution, hormone replacement therapy (HRT) use, and serum sex hormones in postmenopausal women from the Healthy Women Study (Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, 1998). The authors tested the hypothesis that C-reactive protein levels would ...
متن کاملIncreased levels of C-reactive protein after oral hormone replacement therapy may not be related to an increased inflammatory response.
BACKGROUND It has been suggested that hormone replacement therapy (HRT) in postmenopausal women is associated with an increased inflammatory response that may trigger acute cardiovascular events. This suggestion is mainly based on the finding of elevated C-reactive protein (CRP) levels after HRT. The aim of the present study was to evaluate a broad spectrum of vascular inflammation markers in 3...
متن کاملAntidepressant therapy and C-reactive protein levels.
BACKGROUND Major depression is associated with activation of the inflammatory response. AIMS To examine C-reactive protein levels in depression and to determine the impact of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) therapy. METHOD A two-part study. In study 1, which used a between-subjects design, C-reactive protein was measured in 32 patients (20 currently depressed, 12 euthymic) wit...
